Description: Patagonia Better Sweater Coat Fleece - Womens

The Patagonia Better Sweater Coat Fleece may as well be called a work of art; after all, it is a truly magnificent blend between eloquent style and durable performance. With a full frontal zipper and a zip-through collar, one might expect this coat to be bulky, but instead it is actually a streamlined coat! It is so streamlined, in fact, that this item is capable of being packed, making it the perfect accompaniment for all your travels. Other features include a 100% polyester exterior fabric, which all but guarantees the Better Sweater can take plenty of abuse and keep going like nothing happened.

Key Features of the Patagonia Better Sweater Coat:

Fabric has a sweater knit face, fleece interior and heathered, over-dye yarns with a knit-like texture

Love this coat! I originally ordered a small and it fit too perfectly. Wanted a little more room so I exchanged it for a medium. (I'm 5'2", 115 lbs., 34" bust). Nice and warm, love the high collar. I have the shorter version and wanted a longer one to wear over long sweaters and with skirts/dresses. Perfect!!

It runs a big (I got a small) and is a bit wide below the waist but I liked the length and weight of the material. A little "tailoring" with the sewing machine took care of the problems. It's the perfect length for evening dog walks in California.
